Alice in Wonderland Film TV Versions

Here is a look at some of the versions of the beloved children's book. I left the Disney version out because of time and I figure a lot of people have seen it/

I'm also American but I can honestly state that Disney and mediocre Hollywood adaptations will never surpass artistically uncompromised renditions of the source material, for example the Czechoslovakia version titled "Alice" directed by Jan Svankmajer would have never seen the light of day if made in the United States because this country doesn't care about meaningful film and it hasn't since the studios drove Orson Welles out of the system.

There is also the Jan Svenkmeyer version called 'Alice', which has a really dark feel to it, using stop motion animation and live-action alike. I also saw a russian version as a ballet which was not very comprehensive but was still amusing. On top of which there was a bio pic called 'Dreamchild' that covered the 100th anniversary of Carroll's birth and Alice's experiences with Carroll through disturbing flashbacks.

What about Jan Svankmajer's 1988 version (called simply 'Alice')?! It's better than all the rest put together. I'd also recommend Dennis Potter's wonderful 'Dreamchild' (1985), a cinematic adaptation of his earlier 'Alice' script.

i'm being impressed by the 1948 version,

the looking of the White Rabbit scares me.

There was an x-rated version of Alice around the early 70's. Kristine DeBell played Alice. Believe she was a model then. It played at the local theater but was rated R due to the fact Maryland was the only state that had a censor board. The board consisted of one older lady. Johnny Carson sometimes made jokes about her during the monologues. The movie was corny, had some nudity, a lot cut due to the board. I was probably around 21!

Very good! The 1933 version is my favorite too. It scared me when was very young! Use to see it on TCM years ago but not any more.
